Free 3D animated Birds

Animations from video footage

The robin animation on the left was an experiment on our part. We mounted a web cam on our bird table in the garden and eventually captured a video of this robin which we converted to an animated gif. This sort of animation takes a lot of patience and we had no help from a very large pigeon who insisted on sticking his face into the camera, sadly it did not make a good animation.
These birds, some a little strange we must admit, are free for to use on any project you like.
The original idea of this page was to make a kingfisher animation. Sometimes things do not work out and the kingfisher looks like something else altogether.

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie

The bird animations are improving

The latest additions are the thrush, owl, raven, blue tit, robin and the four and twenty blackbird baked in a pie animations, there is a definite improvement in technique and these are starting to actually look like animated birds although there is still some room for improvement. I can see a great Christmas animation will be possible using some of the animated robin models. The animation on the right is a composite that I original made for Google+ but it was a lot bigger.

The first eagle animation is the very simple rotating cube with a photograph on and the other was a specially created 3D model. We intend to carry on experimenting with these sort of animations and hopefully will have more to show you soon
